It's not every day you get to look inside a major electronics factory.
Most of the work done there is compartmentalized and the manufacturing done for one company never touches the manufacturing done for anotherIn fact, Foxconn's R&D labs consist of a series of locked doors.
You can only get into one and that's only if you're allowed in to see prototypesIt's an amazing world of secrecy and deception
That's why it's quite interesting that
BusinessWeek got to sit down with Terry Gou inside the
Foxconn factory in
Shenzhen.
There they learned about the company's efforts to stop everyone from
killing themselves (parades, chants of "treasure your life") and still maintain the backbreaking pace required of modern manufacturers.
